Yes.   Are you planning standard ( i.e. Apple's recommended user  
interface guidelines ) on non-standard behavior?

Standard behavior can be implemented easily with Carbon Events. Are  
you looking for a Carbon Events solution?

To recap:

Please indicate if you are looking for:

(1) Standard behavior  ( e.g.  defaults to 'pressing' cancel button  
if one exists on a window )

(2) A carbon events solution of something else

Additional information about the context of the code might help in  
case there is an alternative solution that doesn't involve the escape  
key.
